Summary

The Reference Image Database to Evaluate Therapy Response (RIDER) database is a targeted data collection for the purpose of generating an initial consensus on how to harmonize data collection and analysis for quantitative imaging methods as applied to measure the response to drug or radiation therapy. The long term goal is to provide a resource to permit harmonized methods for data collection and analysis across different commercial imaging platforms, as required to support multi-site clinical trials, using imaging as a biomarker for therapy response. Thus the database should permit an objective comparison of methods for data collection and analysis as a national and international resource as described in the first RIDER white paper report (2006):
